Morris Claiborne has had some good moments in this camp. One came Wednesday when he broke up a sideline pass to Dez Bryant.

He’s also had some bad moments. One came a few minutes before that
pass breakup when Raymond Radway burned him deep for a touchdown.

“I would say right now, he’s like a baby puppy,’’ defensive backs
coach Jerome Henderson said. “He doesn’t know. He’s out here running
around having fun and playing and making mistakes.

“Some of it is he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know yet. That will come with time and reps and work.

“He’s got a sense of purpose. It’s getting that focused in the right direction.’’

Briefly: Guard/center Bill Nagy is in a walking
boot. The team is waiting on the results of more tests to determine the
severity of his high ankle sprain, but Garrett is hopeful Nagy will be
able to practice before camp concludes. … The Cowboys practiced in pads
Wednesday afternoon for the first time. “This is what it’s all about,’’
tight end Jason Witten said.
